Initially rejecting the claims, the UAE later stated that its decision to leave was made voluntarily in light of recent events. This development highlights growing tensions between the two allies, with Saudi Arabia emphasizing that any threat to its national security is unacceptable. The situation remains critical as Yemen faces a severe humanitarian crisis exacerbated by ongoing conflict.

Saudi Arabia and UAE Clash Over Military Actions in Yemen

Tensions escalated between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates as Saudi officials accused the UAE of conducting 'dangerous' military actions in Yemen. This accusation followed limited airstrikes on Mukalla port, allegedly targeting UAE-supplied weapons for separatist forces. The UAE denied these claims, asserting that the vehicles were meant for their own forces and coordinated with the Saudi-led coalition. This rift highlights growing divisions between the two nations, which have historically been allies. The situation is further complicated by the Southern Transitional Council's recent military advances in Yemen, prompting calls from Saudi-backed groups for Emirati forces to withdraw within 24 hours. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in a severe humanitarian crisis, exacerbating the country's economic struggles.

International Community Condemns Israel's New Settlements in West Bank

Thirteen European nations and Japan have expressed strong disapproval of Israel's recent approval of 19 new Jewish settlements in the Occupied West Bank, which they argue undermines peace efforts in the region.

Violence Erupts in Aleppo Amid Syrian Army and SDF Integration Talks

Clashes in Aleppo resulted in at least three fatalities and 31 injuries as Syrian army forces engaged with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This violence occurs just days before a March 10 deadline for a ceasefire agreement aimed at integrating the SDF into Syria's state framework. The SDF, a significant non-governmental force in northeastern Syria, has been accused by the Syrian Defense Ministry of targeting civilians, while the SDF claims to be responding to attacks from government-affiliated factions. Both sides have since announced a halt to hostilities, citing ongoing de-escalation efforts. The situation is further complicated by Turkey's opposition to the SDF, viewing it as linked to a terrorist organization.
